Why it works
The 0:07–0:14 large-to-small mammoth diagram makes island dwarfism visible before the fox appears at 0:21.7. An eagle at 0:31.8 and mainland fox at 0:34.8 make the ecological reversal concrete; maps and labels add 20 changes inside 13 shots. The opening spends over 20 seconds on setup, so a reuse should promise the living example earlier.
